Kyrgystan - 2013

In May 2013 we went on a 33-day, "5-Stans", Central Asia tour.
(Melbourne - Kuala Lumpur - Kazakhstan - Kyrzgystan - Uzbekistan - Tajikistan - Turkmenistan - Dubai - Melbourne)

We flew from Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur.
After 2 nights there we flew to Almaty in Kazahkstan with Air Astana.
After 5 days in Almaty we crossed the border at Korday into Krygyzstan.




Our first stop was at Hawaii, a smart restaurant complex where we had lunch.
